Google Analytics Integration - Basic Configuration

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Mediahawk has one of the most advanced Google Analytics integration available.

The Integration sends several data points direct to your Google Analytics within 5 minutes of the call finishing. With advanced setup options using secondary dimensions and metrics, you have ability to send all data points that are available within the Mediahawk reporting platform straight into those dimensions within GA. This granular detail allows you to segment your data further allowing advanced tracking and Analytics.

Lets you customise the information you send to Google Analytics per number/campaign.

NOTE:

Mediahawk recommends that you use Event tracking for your Static numbers. Event tracking works well with Static numbers as it measures user interactions rather than visits, tracking Static calls in this way ensures that your website bounce rate will not become inflated as we are not able to send a GCLID ID (Google Click ID).

With your Dynamic calls, Mediahawk recommends sending your calls to a Goal in Google Analytics. Mediahawk will send the GCLID (Google Click ID), Google can then recognise this and match it to the visitor so there is no inflation of your website bounce rate.

If you use Mediahawk Static and Dynamic numbers, we would recommend you set up a goal and an event to track these separately.

Now you need to select the numbers / Dynamic Campaigns you would like to send to your Google Account.

The Selection is based upon the services that you currently have on your account (Static, Dynamic or both listed)
